Hello, fairly soon to be gun owner here. It has been over 25 years since I last fired a handgun (Since I got out of the Army). My wife has finally allowed me to bring a handgun (or any gun for that matter) into our house. We have 3 young children (14 and under) and she believes they are Dangerous to have around our kids. After I first, refresh myself on gun safety, I promised her they too will learn what to do and not to do around guns. With things going the way they are in the world, she too sees we need protection, that is more then a locked door.
I have applied for my LTCH and will soon be buying my first handgun. I have several friends who carry, including both of my brothers, who are helping me get reacquainted with a handgun and gun safety.
I haven't picked out a gun yet as they are allowing me to fire theirs to find the one I like best. I am leaning towards an S&W M&P 40 or a Glock 23 Gen4. or maybe going to some 9mm's. There are so many choices out there, it isn't an easy choice. The advice I'm giving is just find the one I'm comfortable firing. I guess we will see.
I have spent several days already looking through this site and it seems very helpful. A lot of content to go through. I like the fact its people from Indiana the most. Anyway, glad to be here.
